CoAl-LDH has a larger specific surface area than ZCS nanoparticles, which makes ZCS evenly dispersed and inhibits its aggregation. The uniform dispersion of the ZCS nanoparticles exposes more active sites and facilitates the catalyst reaction. In addition, the 2D heterostructure formed by ZCS and Co...
